The new 2019 Q-Catch Portable Cattle Crush, Race & Forcing Pen has been completely redesigned with new electric jacks, Arrowquip’s renowned true rubber floor, the Easy Flow Cattle Race, and the new 3E BudFlow® System. This truly portable handling system is designed for ease of towing with a collapsible forcing pen that measures just 1626mm wide when being towed, a redesigned hitch with adjustable height, and new electric jacks that can lift or lower the unit in under two minutes.

The new 3E BudFlow® allows cattle to see more light as they enter the forcing pen, and the race with 762mm sheeting on the entry panel, and the additional panel to the side of the race. This provides cattle with the impression that they are escaping, rather than entering an enclosed area, and drastically improves the flow of livestock through your handling system.

The Arrowquip R&D team has spent hundreds of hours designing this system to be as efficient and effective as possible, to provide you with more time to do the things that truly matter. For maximum durability, efficiency, and profitability in a portable handling system, look no further than the Q-Catch 86 Series Portable Cattle Crush, Race & Forcing Pen.

The new 3E BudFlow® includes an additional panel to the side of the race, and 762mm sheeting on the first panel cattle see upon entering the forcing pen.

The new 3E System greatly improves cattle entry into the pen, and prevents hold-ups as they go to enter the race.
